Great mission, not always great execution

Pros

Making a real difference in the lives of community members, fun events, great employee wellness programming

Cons

Disorganization, poor management, especially in middle management. Senior directors can be oblivious to issues within departments, especially abuse of lower level employees. Administrative staff paid reasonably well, pay for culinary and distribution is abysmally low.
